While very powerful, a great warrior with the "very powers of creation", Lei Shen is still inferior to the terrifc powers that the Lich King and Froustmourne combined were able to unleash. Seriously, he did 1milion of aoe damage, with nearly unlimited range and uncounterable. Tha'ts huge.
Actually the only other great enemy that was more powerful of the Lich King is the Deathwing we saw in Cataclysm (that was much more powerful compared to novels and WC2, due to the wake of C'thun and Yogg'Saron) because, instead of the Lich King, we weren't even worth of deal with him in a face-off, and needed an artifact from the past to destroy him, a feat that still required the expend of ALL the powers of the Aspects.
I'm not agrreing with that. While boss level may not reflect their true power. Player level reflect their war experience. A level 7 warrior is a fresh farmer who just exchanged his fork for a sword. While a 90 warrior is a fighter who have faced the most powerfull foes you can imagine, killed gods, raped a dragon aspect (or his fingertips at least ), dethroned a lich king.
IMO player level matter in lore, at least that's how I see my char.
Well, it's still speculation about how much powerful C'thun and Yogg-Saron would be in their full potential. Regardless, we still have to see N'zoth and even Y'shaarj could manifest in some way, even if he's actually dead. Algalon was overall intended to be weaker than the Lich King, Kil'jaeden in a full summoned state is more powerful of the Lich King, but not that sure that he would be of Deathwing too.
Kil'Jaeden hadn't fully manifested in to the world.
Archimonde the wisps destroyed him.
Algalon simply stopped fighting after you showed him your conviction.
So I wouldn't say we bested them in combat, be just won the battle and not the war(kinda thing).
I don't know too much about C'thun, Yogg-Saron and old gods, etc, etc.
Why wouldn't they be at full power when we bested them?
As other people have stated:
You never defeat the LK. Tirion does.
You kill Lei Shen with 10-25 people.
Have a nice day!
Uther said some small part of Arthas was all that kept him from doing it. Also look at it this way: we're able to kill the Thunder King on our own, no npc help, no paladin saving us at the last second after we're literally one shot, on thousands of freed souls taking their vengeance on Lei'shen. We're able to face him on top of his lightning cube of death and defeat him in straight up combat. LK wasn't so simple.
Lei Shen wins!
Flawless Victory!
You cared enough to post.
Imo Kil'Jaeden > Deathwing > any old gods > Lich King > Lei Shen
something that always bothered me is how we never saw the lich king's full potential and how he kinda died by an accident ^^
Well I think its quite implicit that the Old Gods are the strongest evils on Azeroth. They dominated the planet and fell only after an apocalyptic war against the Titans. Even if the line "even Sargeras would pray for a swift death, if they broke out of their prisons" is controversial and maybe exaggerated, I think we're talking about a different power level than the Lich King, who is a creation of Kil'Jaeden, lieutanant of Sargeras.
I'm not sure about Algalon 1) we never defeated him 2) he was one of the most important creations of the Titans, that means something.

the only reason we beat arthas was divine intervention, literally. only tirion could save us.
lei shen is downed without any external help.
So 25 people killed Lei Shen, 1 person killed the Lich King and that guy got killed by a zombie dog. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onWY4Q0hIjU

Lei Shen aint be havin no heroic solo videos posted on youtube!
Lich King straight gettin pwned by a Ret named Nobbel!
Yeah is pretty logical. Anyway seems pretty intended that, while a creation of Kil'jaeden, the Lich King grew in power much more that he could imagine, and ofcourse, was never intended that the Lich King could have a body, a detail that made him express it's full power. Ofcourse doesn't mean that can be compared to the Old Gods in anyway, but it's still a detail that make the Lich King something more than the lab experiment creation of Kil'jaeden.
Sad story.
Let time run it's course man ! Next expansion we'll see some overpowered Blood DK owning Lei Shen blinded !Lei Shen aint be havin no heroic solo videos posted on youtube!
Lich King straight gettin pwned by a Ret named Nobbel!
Well, i think that he would had achieve that with the same "device of life extarmination" seen in Uldum, the same Deathwing tried to use, or anyway something pretty similar :P
